In Phase Two, nine talented creatives have been commissioned for the Remembering Together Covid Community Memorial project, with a total support of £70,000.

The aim of this project was to create five memorials alongside a commemorative book and accompanying film. Selected artists include Renzo Spiteri, JJ Jamieson, Helen Robertson, Heather Christie and Malcolm Innes. Documenting the artists' creative process were content capturers Genevieve White (writer), Niamh Wylie (photographer), Chloe Keppie (book designer), and Liz Musser (videographer).

Each of the five memorials received up to £10,000 commission, covering artist fees, travel expenses and materials. The culmination of these projects was captured in the commemorative book, titled Mindin' Tagidder, ensuring a lasting legacy.

100 copies of the book are to be distributed across Shetland, including to care centres, health centres, libraries and schools, for the public to be able to view.

You can view a PDF of the book below, as well as the accompanying film.
